 In
recent years there has
been a steady increase
in chemical sensitivity,
food sensitivities and
environmental
sensitivities. Many
people’s systems are so
sensitive they have
difficulty finding
skincare products that
won’t cause a reaction.
The reactions people
experience vary. Some
people break out in a
rash, while others get
headaches or asthma from
synthetically derived
scents. Most people who
experience sensitivity
reactions are actually
blessed with this early
warning mechanism. It
is far better to react
with intolerance than to
discover years later the
effects of long term
toxic overload from
synthetic chemicals in
body care and food
products. The
Environmental Working
Group (EWG) has
developed a database
entitled “Skin Deep
Report.” This database
is a valuable tool for
consumers who choose to
be informed of the
toxicity or lack of
toxicity of the body
care products they use.
The database report is
quite user friendly. It
consists of 1002
Companies and their
(14,390) products that
have been rated
specifically for the
cancer risk associated
with product
ingredients. The
information is based on
37 toxicity and
regulatory databases
compiled to provide
safety ratings and brand
comparisons that help
consumers choose safer
products. |

I
suggest you go to the
database
www.ewg.org/reports/skindeep2/
and have some fun
looking up different
products to learn what
they are made with and
how they are rated.
If you haven’t guessed
it already, I am happy
to say,
Garden of Eve’s products
have excellent ratings.

Further Impact:
Any products we use that
are made with toxic
synthetic chemicals e.g.
body care, food,
cleaning products have a
detrimental impact on
our environment as
well. Foods and
personal care products
end up in human
excretions, which along
with cleaning products
are washed down the
drain into our waterways
and earth. |

Are You Sensitive to
Scents?
Although the only scent
in Garden of Eve
Skincare products is
that of pure steam
distilled plants, I
understand some people’s
systems are so sensitive
they can easily be
overwhelmed even by the
scents of natural
ingredients.
For this reason all
Garden of Eve products
are available with
little or no scent.
Being chemically
sensitive myself, I know
how difficult and
frustrating it can be to
find quality products
you can use. This is
why I developed Garden
of Eve skincare products
– first for myself.
Now, it is a pleasure
for me to help people
looking for non-toxic
products that benefit
their skin. Although
most people do very well
with my basic
formulations, I am
happy to customize
products when needed. |
